Camp Pendleton

Since 1941, the USO has been the nation’s leading organization to serve the men and women in the U.S. military and their families, throughout their time in uniform. From the moment they join, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, the USO is always by their side.

The USO opened a center on Camp Pendleton on March 26, 2019, and has supported commands since January 2018.

Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton is the Corps’ largest West Coast expeditionary training facility and home of the I Marine Expeditionary Force. More than 42,000 military & family members occupy base housing and the base has a daytime population of 70,000 military and civilian personnel. Many Marines and Sailors aboard Camp Pendleton deploy regularly to defend our great nation. The USO looks forward to supporting these Service Members and Families by providing many valuable services and programs.

The USO is not a government agency, rather, we are a non-profit 501©(3) and rely on local support to fund the programs that make the biggest difference for those who serve.
